Playback change and control operation
This section discussion can be used to change or the various operations of the playback of control feel works 18.
Deletion
May expect to delete or skip some fragment of sensation works 18.For example, owing to various reasons (comprise wish to remove think harmful, improperly or the content of not expecting in addition), the content that some beholder of film or TV programme may wish commercial skip and/or not want to see; May wish to remove unessential or inessential content for specific beholder's purpose or purposes; Perhaps may wish to remove the lower content of priority.
For example, consider the beholder of recording TV program " survivor " on his or her PVR.If this beholder can watch weekly program, he or she may wish to see whole program (except the commercial advertisement); Yet if this beholder has missed two or three collection program, he may not too want to see whole programs so, and only wants to see the part of nearest broadcast, and only emphasis is partly understood, just they can watch nearest broadcast program so totally.Based on specific beholder's demand and/or purpose, expectation is skipped or is deleted the different piece of this broadcast program at during playback.
For another example, this causes the broadcast program of the interest of many different beholders colony if the user has recorded Oscar Golden Statuettes.The beholder who records this event may be to the noted public figure; Entertainment news; Film; Specific actor, actress, dramatist, director and/or film; Music performance; Etc. interested.The different piece that difference beholder colony may prefer to watch this broadcast program.Therefore, wish to delete or skip the part of this broadcast program, thereby the viewing experience of self-defined (custom) is provided for each colony.
Rearrangement
In some cases, may wish to watch or experience with the order different from the desired order of broadcasting organization, wright and/or author some fragment of sensation works 18.
For example, when listening to the music, audience colony may wish to play track according to being different from order shown on the special edition.Hope is resequenced to the playback of the fragment of sensation works 18.
Stack (overlay)
In some cases, may wish the during playback overlapped information at sensation works 18.
For example, if being provided for changing the website of the playback of TV programme and/or the metadata of control etc. announces this type of information, so that the user can access this metadata with folding (collapse) or delete them and do not wish the content of seeing, this website may wish to come the insertion of advertising data at during playback by stack mark, brand or other identifier.
In addition, for various reasons, may wish to insert self-defined on-screen message (screen ticker), product placement, captions at during playback, dub, image etc.
Playback speed
In some cases, may wish to change the playback speed of some fragment of feeling works 18.
For example, advertisers find that many PVR user's F.F.s are by commercial advertisement.Some advertisers ingenious have incorporated the fragment in a second in broadcast program, this fragment only can be for suspending playback with the PVR user that watches this content effectively.May wish to change playback, show, show or show with fast forward action with slow motion so that the each several part of broadcast program suspends several seconds, depend on the circumstances.
In addition, at the during playback of competitive sports (or any other program), can create self-defined " instant replay " may be of great use.For example, this allows user to create metadata, so that can watch certain action (play) in the football game with slow motion.
Insert
In some cases, may wish at the during playback insertion of additional information of feeling works 18, video, audio frequency etc.
For instance, the user may wish to insert the media from another source, or from the media of another fragment in the same source, perhaps inserts new data.A kind of embodiment of this technology inserts based on profile (profile-based) advertisement at during playback.For example, during playback " Super Bowl ", may be to the advertisement of beholder's demonstration based on demographic or any other available information.Therefore, may show the Lexus advertisement to the beholder who lives in a census tracts, and may show to the beholder of another population census block the advertisement of Toyota.
In addition, this technology can be used for adding information to program, to create its new program of being commented on, perhaps otherwise creates derivative works.For example, can make amendment to the playback of the broadcasting of " limit secret service (the State of the Union) " by inserting comment or auxiliary lens.In addition, can also be in order to satirize or the purpose of comedy is revised playback.
Present (presentation)
In some cases, may wish sensation is made amendment presenting of works 18.For example, a beholder can select to present colour motion picture films with original black and white version, and perhaps vice versa.Similarly, allow to show and the other side that presents adapts to beholder's hobby.
Other
Only the purpose for example provides above-mentioned embodiment.Those skilled in the art will recognize that, to any change, modification of the playback of sensation works 18 and/or control all within the scope of the present disclosure.
Metadata
Can be stored as or be conceptualized as the relevant similar control data of metadata or other and specific sensation works 18 to any modification (those changes As mentioned above and/or control) of sensation works 18.Metadata used herein refers to carry out any control signal or the data of desired function.
The identification of sensation works
The playback change of impact sensation works 18 and/or the metadata of control preferably are associated with the particular instance of specific sensation works 18 and/or sensation works 18.For example, it is different to be arranged in the advertisement that advertisement that TV programme that the WRC-TV of branch office of the American National broadcaster of Washington D.C. broadcasts shows may broadcast from the KNTV of branch office of the American National broadcaster that is positioned at San Francisco.In addition, may adopt different form broadcast programs, such as standard resolution (SD) and high resolving power (HD).Hope is associated metadata and this metadata sensation works 18 applicatory.
In one embodiment, metadata comprises program identifier.For example, this program identifier can be " Super Bowl XL ".This technology is applicable to most of purposes; Yet when there are differences between the source, may more wish provides independent identifier (for example, " Super Bowl XL:DirecTV ", " Super Bowl XL:Comcast ", " Super Bowl XL:WRC-TV " etc.) for each source.
Metadata is being applied in the embodiment of film, the beholder can be by from radio and television, record this film from the pay TV of pay-per-use (pay-per-view), play this film from DVD, perhaps obtain this film by video on-demand system on the internet and obtain this film.Owing between each broadcasting, may have change (namely, some may be edited to adapt to screen, and some may show that with widescreen some may have commercial advertisement, etc.), may be useful so the sign of this film of considering these differences is provided.
A kind of possible solution of this problem provides classification and represents.For example, may have the large class that is entitled as " Super Bowl XL ", it has for the more specifically example of homology not.This solution will allow the someone who obtains video from any source to use this large class, but and use the more specifically example of metadata in the time spent.
Sometimes, sensation works 18 may provide to control the metadata of playback.When metadata with when feeling that specifically relation between the works is implicit expression, there is no need with reference to sensation works 18 applicatory.
Reference frame
In case the user has sensation works 18 and is used for controlling or changing the metadata of playback, determine that common reference frame just of great use.When the sensation works 18 be equal to or substantially waits the while, reference frame can be implicit expression; But, when having quite large variations between sensation works 18 sources, provide certain synchronously so that suitable information is deleted, insert, rearrangement, F.F., or otherwise to revise or control may be useful.
At least have two kinds of sensation works 18:(i) good (wellbehaved) of upper performance of those times; And (ii) perform poor on those times.If each playback is all relatively consistent in time, feel that then works 18 are that upper performance of time is good.For example, film and audio recording are that upper performance of time is good, because the generation of each video and/or audio frame is substantially the same relative moment (that is, playing same note in approximately identical relative point in time) in replayed section.
For the good sensation works 18 of upper performance of time, can be by identification time epoch t 0And should be associated with the playback of sensation works 18 time, create in time reference frame.The kind of employed association will depend on the character of feeling works 18.For example, for audio perceptual works 18, reference frame can be waveform, so that sensation playback apparatus 14 can be identified this waveform at during playback, and therefore with time epoch t 0Be associated with the coupling waveform.
In some cases, mating single frame may be inadequate, because the frame of this frame or a basic simlarity may repeat.Exist many technology to identify the video and/or audio record in known this area.For example, various video finger print technology can be used to be identified in the upper unlikely characteristic that occurs in the sensation works 18 in other places of statistics.This specific character can be used to directly define time epoch t 0Or as defining time epoch t to the skew with reference to characteristic 0
In case set up public reference frame, recording 20 defined changes and control operation by playback controls may be with respect to time epoch t 0Moment of definition be employed.
Some sensation works was performed poor on 18 times, and for example, playback may be uncertain, and playback may change, and perhaps playback may be subject to various external actions.For this sensation works 18, playback controls record 20 can define the change relevant with event and control operation.For example, can create playback controls record 20, to revise or change video-game sensation works 18.Because video-game highly depends on user interactions, therefore based on the generation of one or more events rather than the passage of scheduled volume time defines change and control operation may be more effective.
One of method of determining the common reference frame is to set arbitrarily or the initial reference frame of best-guess, and allows beholder or user that playback is finely tuned, to take into account (account for) any difference.For example, can suppose that metadata reference is felt the copy that is equal to of works 18.If the running times such as ongoing insertion, deletion are improper, the user may (for example change playback, reduce or the quickening playback by controlling with respect to metadata, or by control forward or backward skipped frame with respect to metadata) to realize the effect of hope.
The change coding
Those skilled in the art will recognize that, exist countless various ways to come this change and the control of playback of sensation works 18 is encoded.In a preferred embodiment, metadata comprises the time reference relevant with the reference frame of having identified.For example, metadata may be stipulated, from reference frame, plays initial two minutes and 23 seconds, skips ensuing 58 seconds again.Then, metadata for example can indicate that then other data are inserted into, and wherein in ensuing 30 seconds, some out of Memory is applied, etc.
Referring to Fig. 2, sensation playback apparatus 14 comprises: processor 22, this processor have the sensation works input port 24 that can operate to receive sensation works 18; Be used for storing the memory device 26 of playback controls record 20; And sensation works output port 28, can operate information to be sent to sensation output device 12, thereby make it possible to playback sensation works 18." port " used herein is intended to comprise that sensation playback apparatus 14 can input or output any equipment or the mechanism of data by it.
Referring to Fig. 3, a kind of method in order to the playback that changes the sensation works comprises: receive playback controls record 20 (step 30a); Receive sensation works 18 (step 30b); Change sensation works 18 (step 30c) based on playback controls record 20; And output data 32 promote to feel the playback that has changed (step 30d) of works 18.
Community
A plurality of users form " community ".In community, the user can access sensation works 18, for example, audio recording, film, TV programme has the works of sense of touch element, light show etc.The sensation works can adopt any form and can be from any source almost.In addition, the user can access the metadata that is created by another user in the community.
